லியோ டால்ஸ்டாய் கதைகள்

by Leo Tolstoy

‘உனக்குத் தீமையைச் செய்தவருக்கும் நன்மையே செய்’ என்றார் புத்தர். இவர்களின் கருத்துகளைத்தான் டால்ஸ்டாய் தன் கதைகளில் வலியுறுத்தி உள்ளார்.தான் கற்றறிந்த, கேட்டறிந்த வாழ்க்கை நெறிகளை தன் வாழ்க்கையில் பின்பற்ற முயன்றார் அவர். அவர் வாழ்க்கை முள்பாதையாகத்தானிருந்தது. ஆனாலும் அவர் அஹிம்சா நெறியைக் கடைப்பிடித்தார்.டால்ஸ்டாய் மேலை நாட்டில் தோன்றிய மிகத் தெளிவான சிந்தனையாளர்களில் ஒருவர். ஒப்பற்ற நூலாசிரியர்களில் இவரும் ஒருவர் என்று இவரைப் பற்றி வர்ணிக்கிறார் காந்தியடிகள்.

About the author

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reviews

[Udhaya Raj · Rating 5 out of 5]

His stories revolve around God. However, it also highlights human characteristics and human dignity. At the end of each story, the only message conveyed is that love and loving one's fellow human beings are essential.
